Specification of Letters Eatent.

DAYU) C. Means, States of America,

residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have tain new and useiul Improve invented cerments in Jan burcters, of which the following is a' specification, reference being had accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to ca therein to the rbureters particularly designed for use upon niotor vehicles, and it is the primary ob ject of the invention to provide a ctmstruction which is tures at construction as hereinafter In the drawings: Figure l vehicle engine and ing the liquid the same with the various fem set forth. is a diagram showing the carbureter as applied to an engine; 2 is line Fig. 2; Fin.

A is the casing containing a longitudinal section through is a cross section on a cross section the oil; and Fig. l")

the chamber 3 with a float, therein controlling the oiladmission valve D.

E is a valve controllin a dischar e as- F from the float Chill'l'ibfil communicating with a passage G extending transversely of the casing and having an air inlet H at one end thereof. lhe oppositeend of the passage G is connecg'zed by a conduit 5, which is sufficient tend to the exhaust manifold nipple l to a length to exof the engine,

where it is connected with a segmental hollow member K adapted to manifold. The member K at its opposite end returns to the carbureter and the suction conduit M. This s is preferably arranged centre be hung over said also connected with a conduit L which connects with uction conduit lly Within the float chamber B and is preferably formed in and rotatively adjustably tom thereof.

addition to the valve it there is prereralbly provided a hollow piston-valve S controlling ports S in the conduit M below the float chamber, said,valve being coupled by a connecting rod 6- with the butterfly valve R so as to be operated thereby. There further preferably provided a hinged flap-valve T for closing and opening the lower end of the conduit M, and which is/also operated by a connecting rod T from the operating nieclranisnr tor the valves R- and S. lhe arrangement is such that the opening of the throttle R will simultaneously open the ports S and the flap-valve 'l, while the closing of the throttle will correspondingly close or restrict the ports controlhid by the valves S and T. l

The valve which controls the admission of the oil to the conduitG is variably opened in correspondence with the opening of the throttle-valve, preferably by placing on the stern R" of said throttle-valve a cam H hearing against the stern E of the valve E, While a spring; E engaging a collar i 1 serves to hold said stein in engagement with the can).

With the construction described. itwill be noted that instead oi feeding the'oil from the float-chamber directly into the air suction conduit it is fed into the passage G, which is indirectly connected with the suction conduit through the conduits J, segmental fitting K and conduit Whenever there is suction 1n the suction conduit, air

oil which is adniitbed into the passage G.

In passing; through the segmental fitting l5 the oil will be subjected to the heat of the exhaust manifold, so that it will be partially or ivh olly' vaporized, and when delivered into the conduit M will be in condition for forming an explosion gaseous mixture. The area of the opening H and conduits connected therewith is sufiicient for all the air required when the engine is idling, but when the throttle H is opened additional air is supplied by the opening; of the ports S and the port controlled by the Flap-Valve T. The result is that even Where the temperature is very low the carbureter will be operative.

My improved construbtion is applicable to engines oi diti'ereht designs and without the necessity of any change in the construction thereof. To facilitate the attachment! the member N is
